Experience the magic of an Austrian Christmas right here in the UK with Kipferl. As the chill of winter settles in, it's time to warm your hearts and homes with the authentic tastes of Austria's festive delights.
Austrian Christmas bakery, hampers and gift boxes, handmade in our Islington bakery and delivered across the UK. Lebkuchen, Vanillekipferl, Stollen, festive Sachertorte and curated hampers of Austrian food and wine.
Austrian Christmas baking is its own tradition — not the marzipan-and-icing fruit cake of a British Christmas, but trays of small spiced biscuits, honey-rich gingerbread, and cakes built on chocolate, nuts and chestnut. At Kipferl we have been baking it in London since 2003, at our Austrian restaurant and patisserie at 20 Camden Passage, Islington.
Everything here is made by us, to recipes you would recognise from a Viennese Konditorei or an Alpine home kitchen at Advent.
Our Weihnachtskekserl are the heart of an Austrian Christmas: buttery Vanillekipferl, Linzer eyes, coconut Kokosbusserl and spiced stars, baked in small batches. Alongside them we make proper Lebkuchen — soft Austrian gingerbread, including Elisen Lebkuchen and our apricot-filled Apricot Kisses. Gluten-free and dairy-free cookie selections are available.
Our Tiroler Christstollen follows the Tyrolean style — dense with fruit and nuts, wrapped around a marzipan core, dusted heavily in icing sugar. It keeps for weeks, improves after a few days, and is designed to be sliced thinly through Advent rather than eaten at once.
Our festive cakes are the Austrian classics with Christmas decoration: Sachertorte, Mozart Torte, the creamy Maronitorte chestnut cake, and the gluten-free Haustorte. See the full Christmas cake delivery collection, or our year-round Austrian cakes.
Our hampers bring together the best of the Austrian delicatessen — cakes and biscuits from our own bakery alongside Austrian wines, jams, pumpkin seed oil and Alpine specialities. Sweet gift boxes contain only our handmade patisserie, and alcohol-free hampers are available for recipients who prefer them.
For client and staff gifting, see our Austrian corporate gifts range. We can deliver to multiple addresses and invoice larger orders — call 020 7704 1555 to discuss.
Curated cases of Austrian wine for the festive table and for gifting — Grüner Veltliner selections, reds, dessert wines and sparkling Sekt for New Year. Browse the full Austrian wine range.

How long does Austrian Christmas bakery keep?
Lebkuchen and Stollen keep for several weeks and are meant to. Cookies keep well in a sealed tin. Cakes are fresher — most keep up to five to seven days. Each product page gives the detail.
Our restaurant and patisserie at 20 Camden Passage, Islington N1 8ED runs through Advent with Austrian food, Glühwein, cakes and Viennese coffee, two minutes from Angel station.
